Keselowski skips Nationwide race

Brad Keselowski will skip Saturday's Nationwide Series race at Watkins Glen as he continues to recover from his testing accident from last week. The Penske driver was set to be on double-duty next weekend, but following his second Sprint Cup win of the season, which places him as the favorite to land one of the wildcard entries into this year's Chase, he is set to place his focus on his Cup programme in order to remain eligible for the playoff. Keselowski basically needs to be among the top 20 in points in five-week's time in order to become a championship contender for the first time, and this weekend's race at Watkins Glen is set to place his injured ankle under massive stress, being regarded as the toughest venue for brakes.
